Perfectly Unperfected Distance

They say we won't last.

I laugh as I tell you,

Followed by promises of forever.

 

As soon as I can get away,

We'll be together.

 

Our smiles and laughs,

If only I could be with you now,

Curled up in your arms.

I'll wait. You know that.

You know I love you.

 

Doubt starts to kick in.

Your friends are telling me things.

Are they true?

 

I cry. You try and tell me sweet nothings.

I don't listen. But I don't leave. I can't.

You do. What about forever?

 

The distance, overwhelming?

But we were suppose to stay together.

[Curiosity and Black Ang..]

I agree. Sad poem filled with a hint of longing.

[John A Common]

A sad and heartfelt poem. I found it very moving.
